About Us
Founded in 2012 to address local issues around lack of access to training and support in the Dunbar area, The Ridge has grown to become the go-to provider of local, effective, personalised and holistic empowerment for local people to help them overcome challenges, to move beyond dependency towards contribution and fulfilment.
The charity has a wholly-owned trading subsidiary social enterprise construction company, The Ridge Foundations CIC (TRF), which provides high quality traditional skills training, primarily through stonemasonry and joinery apprenticeships and SQA-accredited courses for youngsters not thriving in a mainstream school setting. TRF also undertakes work on derelict properties in the Dunbar Conservation Area, which are owned and being restored by The Ridge SCIO on behalf of the community. TRF also carries out commercial contracts externally to The Ridge, expanding the experience of trainees and generating invaluable income.
Across the Ridge, our focus is on enabling people to fulfill their potential, helping them to tackle barriers and gain the skills to live life to the full.
